Blood Donation

Our Blood Donor Club donated 1 bottle of AB type blood last January 30th 2008. The patient was a 39 years old pregnant woman from Quarter No. (15), South Okkalarpa Township. She was waiting for a natural birth at South Okkalarpa Women and Children Hospital. Although her pregnancy was already due, the infant seemed to be making no movement at all inside the wound. So, her pregnancy was regarded as dangerous and was decided to use surgical operation instead of waiting for the natural birth. Therefore, we donated 1 bottle (between 450 ml~600 ml) of needed blood for the surgical procedure.

At around 3:30 pm in the afternoon, the patient's family called in for help from the South Okkalarpa Hospital. Fortunately, we have already found a donor by then. So, we made contact with the donor and went to the Hospital at about 4 pm in the evening. When we got there, the donor was tested for blood pressure, blood type and hemoglobin percentage present in the blood. After all the necessary procedures before donating the blood were done, the actual donation process began around 4:45 pm. When it was done, our BDC treated the donor with fried rice, sent him back home and by 5:30 pm, we were back to the club already. The news followed after was that the surgery was successful and both the mother and the child are perfectly healthy. It was a true pleasure to know that we were able to save two lives that day and it is that invaluable joy that makes all this hard work worthy.
